Hi, I'm Dave Graybill, the Fishin' Magician!

Now that Tom Verschueren is retired his going to do some bass fishing. He got off to a good start fishing with me at Evergreen Reservoir.

Here you will find current information on fishing in Central Washington State.

I grew up in Central Washington and began writing about the outdoors in the mid 70s. I began broadcasting report on outdoor recreation on KOZI Radio in Lake Chelan in 1991. My reports are now carried on several radio stations and many newspapers in Washington. The reports give what’s happening and how-to information on fishing for bass, perch, walleye, trout, kokanee, salmon, steelhead and other species.
